DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF INVENTION

The “Azcuna Door Hanger” shall be made as a normal door hanger, consisting of paper, cardboard, plastic, and/or other material needed for configuration. It will consist of two sides, a front and a back. The front will have hotel name, clock display, AM/PM display, and general instruction. See attached drawing for an example. The back will have hotel name, fasteners to keep the components in place, and general instruction. See attached drawing for example. It may be used as a tool for hotel guests to communicate with hotel staff when the room is available to be cleaned. The user will manually manipulate the provided hour and minute hands of the clock and the selection of AM or PM to convey this message. Guest will hang on door (knob) facing outward. Hotel staff will walk around all rooms and take note of times.

This is an improvement for the guest, since they don't need to call or spend extra time contacting staff This saves staff time since they don't need to waste time answering phone calls and can spend that time more efficiently. Staff will still have to add time to collect guest cleaning time requests, but this will be more efficient overall.
